B aha’ al-Din Muhammad ibn Ezzel- din Hussein ibn Abdul-Samad ibn Shams al-din Muhammad ibn Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Saleh Harithi Hamedani Amili Jaba’i (Jba’i), who is known as Sheikh Baha’i شیخ بهایی )). He was born in Heliopolis or Baalbek ((بعلبک in 953 AH year in 1546 A.D.; he began his life in an arena of Bilad al-Sham and Syria in an approach of the rural of «Geba» or «Jba`» .((جبع یا جباع A zone of Jabal Amil (a mountainous region of Southern Lebanon) was one of the centers of a Shiah’s association in the west of Asia, and have arisen a multitude of the Shiah’s scientists and headmen in this region. Through progressing of the Shiah religion in Iran and stabilizing its foundation, the Shiites of Jabal Amil جبل عامل )) performed an important role, considerably assisted, which the great headmen have arisen among them during this period specifically after 7th H century. Furthermore, Baha’i’s lineage has been a member of the Shiah’s celebrated lineages in Jabal Amil. In his childhood, Baha’ al-Din moved to Iran with his father and became Esfahanian ‘Sheik-al Islam’ شیخ الاسلام )) after completing his education. In the sciences of philosophy, logic, ‘Heiyat technique’ فن هیئت )), and mathematics, he was professional. A collection of his remained authorships is around eightyeight books and treatises. He passed away in Esfahan in 1031 AH year, and his corpse delivered to Mashhad due to his last wishes and buried neighboring a mausoleum of Shiah’s eighth Imam, Imam Reza .((امام رضا Sheikh Baha’i was reputed in artifice, mathematics, architecture, and engineering, and still celebrated in these characteristics. It has been said that, owning the fact that he himself established and fixated the architecture of Imam Esfahan’s mosque and the engineering of Najaf’s enclosure (an-Najaf al-Ashraf is a city in central-south Iraq about 160 km) attributed to him; also it is an index of determining night and day’s times based on a sunshade or a so-called technique, named as a sunny clock, or a sunny disc, or tangential clock that located in the west of Esfahan king mosque. Surveying and dividing a Zayandeh- rud or Zayandeh River (the largest river of the Iranian Plateau in central Iran) into Esfahan’s Mahallat and Dam on the bank of Zayandeh River زایندهرود )), which it considers as one of the most precious proceedings.
According to what is known in Afwah ,( (افواه to the command of Safavid king Abbas, some people are assigned as a position of Sheikh Baha’i’s chairmanship. Practically, they constituted an extremely accurate and integral arrangement with a maximum of justice, and regarding water’s right in every village, oasis, parish, and quarter, and building some materials that is still similar to its previous and common arrangement. Its original scroll is located in Esfahan. The book, A Description of the Cosmos is one of the authentic books that is written in the Heiyat’s knowledge technique (astronomy). In spite of its low mass and a bulky abbreviation, it contains a maximum of related discussions to this knowledge. Indeed, Sheik has cleverly included the whole discussions of the mentioned knowledge in his book. This book, at the beginning of its composition, was under the consideration of some scientists. In addition, it has trained in the seminaries maximum as a lesson book, and written by several grandees on some of its scholiums. An attribute of this book not only corresponds to the Iranian, but also introduces all over seminaries of the Islam world, and the Iranian and non-Iranian’s scientists have written many scholiums on it. Likewise, the deceased Baha’i inscribed the scholiums… about this book. It requires some serious inspections and disquisitions in order to pluralize its written explanations. Given the fact that it has a bulky abbreviation, a context of this book has a complicated text and is allegedly similar to a telegraph that is much difficult to perceive. Sometimes, Sheikh depicts a high-ranking subject of ‘Heiyat science’ with one phrase of the multiword that leads to a complicated understanding of the book’s origin. Due to this fact, the author of An Altar of a Fragmental Aurora on the Cosmos makes an abundantly effort to specify and led the passage flow while it is simultaneously translating in order to ease the understanding of its remarks and statements, and becoming quite litigable.
